It couldn't have been Mexico again, they've already hosted twice since WW2 I fink.

USA would have been to early also.

But, they wouldn't necessarily had to have the 2014 Cup in the Americas to begin with. Lots of countries want to host, not just European ones.

Mexico and the USA are in North America and that is a different region as far as football is concerned. On a sidenote, Mexico hosted twice within 16 years (1970 and 1986), so the USA wouldn't have been too early after hosting in 1994.

South America didn't host a World Cup since 1978 (Argentina), so they were overdue. Besides, it should be pretty clear by now that the FIFA isn't making decisions based on what is the absolute best for the World Cup. Brazil is hosting, simply because it was about time that the World Cup returns to South America, economic feasibility be damned. Corruption is the reason why Qatar gets to host in 2022.

No kidding.

With Russia in 2018 too.

The UK and Australia respectively got only like 1 or 2 votes each in those bids.

It's all about bribes if you want to host the Cup
